saruhiko and misaki are a pair of ghosts haunting a house, and every day they try to outcompete each other in scaring whoever comes in
Somehow I imagine Fushimi was haunting that house first and then Yata shows up and they start competing with like a ‘loser has to leave’ thing, except oh no now they like each other. Like Fushimi’s been haunting this old townhouse for many years, when he was a child he lived there with his shitty parents and then died young. He carried such a deep grudge though that he became a ghost and he’s been haunting the place ever since, the only thing he vaguely enjoys is scaring away people who try to move in. The house pretty quickly gets a reputation as haunted so lots of people are always trying to sneak in, at the same time because it’s such a fancy old house every now and again some rich person will try to move in and Fushimi scares them away.
One day Fushimi’s idly hanging around the house when he spots this red-haired kid standing in front of the door. The door is closed and the guy looks confused, Fushimi assumes he must be lost and looking for shelter for the night and this guy will be fun to scare. Fushimi starts moving a few random objects, enjoying how the guy starts to freak out and yell. Fushimi finally jumps out from a wall and the guy screams and falls backward…phasing straight through the closed door. Fushimi gets this disgusted look like what a ghost who’s scared of other ghosts, the guy is like wait what the fuck I’m a ghost.
It turns out Yata was hit by a car while skateboarding and now he’s a wandering ghost. Yata’s all bummed like well this sucks, Fushimi shrugs and is like that’s how it is, go find somewhere else to haunt this place is mine. Yata doesn’t see why they can’t both haunt this place, it’s huge and anyway he doesn’t know where to go. Fushimi has no interest in having a roommate, especially one who can’t even handle being scared, Yata probably couldn’t even scare away a little kid. Yata insists that he could too scare someone, Fushimi scoffs like you’d probably run away screaming yourself. Yata’s like oh yeah well I bet I could scare better than you, and if I do you have to let me stay. Fushimi’s like fine if you want to fail horribly go ahead. So now they’re both on a mission to see who can scare intruders the worst, Fushimi has to up his game to beat Yata while Yata figures things out pretty quickly because he’s not going to let Saruhiko beat him this easily. At some point they don’t even notice that they’ve stopped actively competing and are working together more and that Fushimi’s stopped telling Yata to leave, and Yata’s started thinking of this place as ‘our’ home.
#sarumi#Talking K#imagine them starting to get close#but then Fushimi gets afraid that Yata could disappear#and he'd be alone again#so he tries to make Yata leave but it's too late Yata won't go now#he wants to stay beside Saruhiko for the rest of their unlife

Day 2: Timeloop / Xiao Qi and Jiu Ge
I am cringe and I am not even free
Feel free to reuse this idea but 24 hours are not enough for me to finish an entire comic. I could have taken the simpler prompt but nOOOOOO timeloop is too tempting. Past me why are we like this
#svsss#shen jiu#yue qingyuan#qijiu#qijiuweek2024#the basic idea for this was that both yqy and sj remember each loop#the loop started after their individual deaths in PIDW and resets them to close to disciple era#aka the time Yue Qi was in the caves and SJ presumably got away from the Qiu household or was already with Wu Yanzi#I imagine the first few loops they qi deviated so hard from the shock that they didnt even make it like 1 hour in the loop before beingrese#and then had a few loops just fucking around and finding out#eventually they realise that the other has the memories of all loops and so begins the talks and figuring how tf they can get out of this#maybe they resolve their issues with the promise or not your choice tbh#they try different plans and methods#but they keep dying (read: SJ keeps dying first and YQY either dies or sewerslides not soon after) and getting reset with no end in sight#until the last pages where the svsss timeline begins#SJ got replaced with SY and the system isn't letting YQY join him in death or smth nor letting him do anything about SY being there instead#And due to their closeness from being immensily tired from all the loops#YQY notices it immediately but can't do anything about it#the bonus for SY is that this timeline was very kind to LBH & co - 79 figured by now that keeping him in the sect and happy was their best#bet at staying alive - or well at least for longer#I'll continue this storyline in one of the future prompts of this qijiu week#btw the one with the cliff is just the whoopsie daisy timeline where SJ accidentally falls into the Abyss trying to keep LBH from falling i#79 had a bit of a good laugh about that one#cw death#cw violence#cw blood#cw angst

you can really tell the different audience demographics of Lifesteal vs Hermitcraft by the comment sections because the average spokeishere or whatever comment is like “LIKE THIS if you are a real Spoke fan!!! ❤️👊😎 if this comment gets 100 LIKES ill tell my mom to subscribe 🤪 who else is watching in 2028❓❓😂” whilst the average ethoslab comment is like “my wife is giving birth but this is more important”
#this is no hate to either lifesteal or hermitcraft im a fan of both. i just find the contrast between comment sections funny#its kinda wild being in both communities as an older teenager#like sometimes ill watch a lifesteal video and then glance at the comments and its like. woah. you guys are so young#especially squiddo videos…#like woah you are all children. im glad 12 year olds are watching squiddo though shes so fucking funny they got good taste#watching squiddo videos the same way adults were watching horrible histories because its funnier than any comedy show aimed at adults#<- fun fact for you. they started broadcasting horrible histories in the evenings because it had so many adult fans because its so funny#like sorry but squiddo is consistently the funniest content creator i watch beyond even mcyt like. actually nobody doing it like them#sorry to tommy or any other mcyt tryna get into comedy your bits will never come close to squiddo#also the ethoslab one isnt ironic i very much imagine one of those 30yo software developers in love with etho to have typed that#hermitcraft#lifesteal smp#mcyt#locus fandom time#this one may flop but i cant stop thinking about this

#*carly catalogs#I'M SO SAD THAT THIS CAN NEVER BE A REALITY ANYMORE#CAN YOU IMAGINE IF HE WERE ALIVE WHEN THEY STARTED SECRETLY DATING??????#he would've reassured lucy over and over that he wouldn't tell a soul about them (cause you know she'd be kinda panicked about it)#BUT THAT COMES WITH A PRICE#THE PRICE BEING JACKSON RELENTLESSLY TEASING AND POKING FUN OF THEM BEHIND CLOSED DOORS#ESPECIALLY WHEN TIM COMES OVER TOO HE'D GET SO COMFORTABLE WITH ROASTING HIM ANYTIME HE'S AT THE APARTMENT#TITUS I RESPECT YOU AND YOUR DECISION FOR LEAVING BUT IT WAS TOO SOON 😭😭😭😭😭#the brotherly bond we could have gotten between tim and jackson.... lost to me forever......#brb i need to sit in the shower and cry over this#the rookie#jackson west#tim bradford#lucy chen#chenford#otp: you know me so well

To elaborate on my ruekirtho throuple thoughts, sometimes I think about a world where their shared love for mytho brought rue and fakir together instead of driving them apart. They’re both incredibly lonely kids who have lost too much and, as much as they care for mytho, a heartless doll isn’t replacement for real human companionship. So they find each other.
Rue knows it will never last. No one beyond her Prince will ever love her. She sees the way Fakir throws rocks at the flock of crows that gathers around her. When he discovers her identity—and she knows he will discover her identity one day—they’ll go back to being enemies. He is the Knight and she is the daughter of the Raven, his killer. Still, it’s nice to have a friend even for a little while. So she lets herself forget. She forgets who, what, she is. She forgets that there was ever a before. She forgets that they won’t last.
Fakir knows there is something very, very wrong in Rue’s life. He sees the deep scratches that stand out against her almost unnaturally pale skin. She speaks in a hushed tone with a haunted look in her eyes when it’s time to go home. She won’t tell him anything, though. He doesn’t even know where she lives; it’s as if she disappears at the end of the day. He just hopes that one day, when it comes down to it, he’ll be able to protect her from whatever haunts her.
By the time the story goes into motion, the two, along with Mytho, are near inseparable. When Mytho begins regaining his heart, Rue and Fakir work together to put a stop to it. When Rue begins losing track of the days, feeling as if someone else is trying to claw their way out of her chest, she almost goes to Fakir for help. Almost.
It is, of course, Fakir who shatters the illusion that is Rue. Her one and only friend calls her an ugly crow, and in that moment she remembers what she is. What she’s always been. They’ve been enemies from birth. This “friendship” was nothing more than the a sad illusion created by a lonely girl—a girl who no longer exists. And she knows now, in her father’s absence, her “friend” will die at her hand. This is their fate and fate cannot be changed. Still, it was nice while it lasted.
#implied child abuse#I WILL be shipping fakir and rue idc about canon#can you imagine#CAN! YOU! IMAGINE!!!#I made another post on more concrete details of this au I believe#but yeah it plays out kinda like canon#where in the first half of season 1 rue and fakir park together to stop tutu#but after the Kraehe reveal#well#let’s just say fakir’s trust is broken#which makes it harder for him to bond with Duck#and when they DO become friends rue feels like she was replaced#and so rue and fakir are still trying to kill each other here they’re just. much much more angry about it#I think it would be fun if they had a pretty central relationship in tutu#princess tutu#lea talks#also part of rue’s arc is realizing she can be loved and fakir DID love her but now it feels too late for that :(#he feels like their relationship was just a lie from the start so she could get close to him and mytho and then hurt them#soooooo he’s not changing his mind about rue anytime soon#Ehehe I love drama I love suffering

...because any moment may be our last. everything is more beautiful because we're doomed.
#looking through my drafts and seeing this post unfinished and knowing in my core I'll probably never actually finish it .#but strangley enough i don't hate the way it looks with only those 2 panels ? beauty in simplicity or something idk#woe unfinished post be upon ye#honestly probably wouldnt even bother posting it were it not for the fact i was hit by a sudden wave of sadness#by being reminded out of the blue that alex really does just . lose nigel that night#enough deep level analysis my brain is all out i think . but just the simple fact that nigel dies that night#and alex has to go on for the rest of his life post-ending carrying that grief and loss with him#i know we talk about how nigel isn't truly 'gone' in the sense that they're one now and jack is supposed to be an amalgamation of the two#a product of their union and 'consummation' that night at the yard#but he's still gone . no matter how much alex might try and follow in nigel's footsteps#no matter how hard alex tries to tread that same path nigel did to feel close to him#he's gone . they will never have that moment beneath the house ever again . and alex has to go on living with that#anyway . normal again . imagine dropping a song rec like i used to. aha . go listen to sick like me by in this moment.#like minds#murderous intent#nigel colbie#alex forbes#nigel colbie x alex forbes#edit : THEY'LL NEVER HAVE THE MOMENT UNDER THE HOUSE AGAIN !!!!!#thinking about the moment where nigel sits across from alex after he shoots john#and the contrast to the scene in the crawlspace . nigel is trying to connect he is trying to get alex to see to understand#but now alex is closed off. something may be irreparable broken between them#do you think it was the moment where nigel starts to despair . to plead . realise that he needs to find a way to make alex truly see#i need to get some sleep

Just thinking about how heartbroken Reyna must have truly been when Jason came back to Camp Jupiter and barely remembered her.
Because she met Percy, she does know that even when Juno takes your memories away, if you truly truly love and care and need another person you will be able to remember her, even if not entirely perfectly, but the memory will be there with you the whole way. Like the memory of Annabeth was with Percy.
And then Reyna sees Jason arrive with Piper, and it's okay really, it doesn't even hurt that much, she's Praetor, she has got a job to do, she cannot be getting distracted with silly little sentimental things like that.
And, okay, sure, Reyna can say, maybe Jason and her weren't that close in that sense, it's okay, but they were still good friends, co-leaders of a grand city, he still mattered a lot to her.
And same thing right, Percy did remember Nico, not that vividly or anything, but he did immediately know Nico and him knew each other from somewhere before, because The Ambassador was important to him, in a different way but still, important to Percy.
And then, Jason tells her that he didn't remember her at all, no name, no blurry face, no dreams, no voice, no vague sense that he was missing somebody from somewhere.
That he only started sorta remembering her days after he had already finished his quest, for his new patron goddess, and his new friends, at his new camp, in his new life, with his new girlfriend.
But it's fine, really, Reyna is mature, she doesn't let little things bring her down. She's roman, truly roman, daughter of a fully only Roman Goddess. She's Praetor, she's strong, she will welcome these strange Greek people into her city and throw a feast in their honour, she won't even be salty or rude about it. Really, Reyna is fine, it doesn't even hurt.
#and then half her city gets destroyed by them#reyna avila ramirez arellano#jason grace#pjo#just man i can imagine her feeling so destroyed because she knows how much percy loves Annabeth to the point of remembering her no matter#what and then Jason arrives and just barely knows who she is and then she can say well i mean at least we were good friends right close#friends and then its not the case either because jason didnt have a sudden recognizion moment like percico did he just randomly remembered#her a few days after finishing the quest and felt vaguely remorseful about it and that's it#and then reyna isnt even allowed to show weakness and be openly sad about it because shes a roman leader and percy is about to leave her#making her the only roman leader once more she has got to be strong and then they betray her and octavian takes over#:((( my poor girl#luna's headcanons#not really a headcanon though more of an observation i suppose#like i feel bad jason didnt have anything to bound him back no matter what like percy had his friends and girlfriend#gonna start tagging this as Luna's meta

Before I went to bed I saw the Youtube notif that TADC was going to Netflix and it INVADED my dreams so vividly I have not had such an episodic sequential serialized cohesive dream in months it was literally its own chapter its own short story
#I was Pomni it was literally Pomni POV#Caine had cooked up some sporty adventure and I was like Ummm...... no#So I found a glitch where I could hide in a technically out-of-bounds area#I had a theory that if I stayed super close to the ground I wouldn't be in the range of Caine's mod powers or whatever#Some random girl was w me I don't think she was important#Anyways I started thinking “This could hurt. When they leave#the map will not have to exist.”#I'd be crushed by the nonexistence of the area I'm in. When they come back I'll load in somewhere slightly different#and be stuck in the walls."#DIDN'T HAPPEN everything was OK#But at some point I was like man... sure is boring and scary. Sure wish my friends were here.#So I ended up finding them anyway LMAO#I told them what happened cuz they were obviously concerned and Caine got his feelings hurt???#Like. surprising moment of clarity. Everyone was shocked and uncomfortable.#Bro was like “I try so hard for U guys 🥺 I just don't get it. Why didn't you just tell me you wanted to stay home??”#Most everyone was like IDC UR OUR JAILER!! CRY ABT IT!! but me and Ragatha were coerced into pity...#Like yeah whatever. Sorry man. I'll be honest next time and not do things that could make me die. I think we were just caught off-guard.#Exchanging glances like “Wow... didn't know he could feel anything!” Like imagine if ur Furby just had an emotional outburst#and felt remorse abt it. WYD.#I think we held his hands or sum cuz all my dreams end like a Barbie movie#Episode ended and I was like Wow :) Great show#Sorta off-topic but the cafeteria today started playing very quiet carnival music for Hoco and I literally felt chills up my back cuz#I had been thinking abt Pommy all day...#I used to be enraptured by clown motif what happened#Did I throw it up#For the best...... for the best.

on one hand I totally understand tropes are popular but on the other hand I think Amos is a lot more compelling as a middle aged woman trying to figure out her life after a loveless relationship than a mother figure ya know
#it's like. oh has anyone read price of salt? It's like carol. she's in a mess trying to figure things out#and dragging anyone close to her into that mess#bc she spent so long in an environment where she is both not getting enough attention from one who she wants#and getting attention from others who are 'below' her. not that she conciously sees people as below her but i think society#would tell Amos that she has a higher role on the hierarchy as Deca's lover than anyone else in mondstadt#...now i'm imagining an old mond rebellion where the original goal was something like 'tear down the walls reform deca' and then Amos joine#went 'no I'm gonna kill him' and the rebellion went '....okay that doesn't sound like a terrible idea he IS the one keeping the walls up'#nb's goal after all was to break down the walls and see the sky right not explicitly to kill a god#.......puts this idea in my pocket to maybe play with#saying that my initial idea of her was also viss er one / eva anim orphs based but sim idea. middle aged woman#upper class middle aged divorced woman amos who has her hands full dealing with the fallout of her own life and making it everyone's proble#i just really like Problematic Woman#saying that carol did kinda really mother therese but also their relationship was uhhhh unequal. Just a Bit#also viss e r one and eva are also both defined by motherhood in a way#except eva is 'long left the role behind bc the world thinks she's dead and her body isn't even hers anymore'#and vis ser one is 'she should NOT be a mother she is a whole empire's tactician for a reason'#anyway don't mind me waking up and starts rambling about Opinions bc my dream supplied me Stress of Snakes#<- thinks snakes are cool but has a healthy respect of them irl idk Where that dream came from#genshin talk

whenever I think about the earth-bending avatar after korra, I wonder how the air nation is going to look. yes, they were revitalized but not all of the new air benders joined tenzin in restoring the air nation. while I want there to be an air nation just like the air nomads before the one hundred year way, I also feel as though there would be a collection of air benders who aren’t air nomads? those who stayed with their birth tribe but mastered air anyways. maybe these air benders would join pro bending and the united forces in ways a traditional air nomad wouldn’t.
what if jinora is the leader of the air nomads and someone else is the leader of those who choose not to become a nomad? would these two sides get along and learn from each other or be pitted against one another?
#avatar: the legend of korra#avatar: the last airbender#avatar#avatar aang#avatar korra#look I started writing an earth bending avatar years ago but these thoughts still exist in my head#in my mind: jinora and the other leader are best friends#and it’s a rumor that they’re not friends but the reality is that the two sides are quite close#look i love doing time travel fics for the fun of it#and I’m considering writing one simply so aang learns the air nation was revitalized#not even his spirit knows since korra lost the connection to her#them*#I just want to see his happiness and to see him playing with the children and teaching them tricks#he would LOVE meelo#can you imagine his pride learning that bumi ended up getting air bending

one thing that is so genius on a craft level with the broken earth books is that the derogatory for 'orogene' is - That Way - on 100% purpose. you're supposed to feel like it's not a word to say out loud, it's supposed to be uncomfortably similar to words you've already heard and know as cruel slurs in the real world. it's a direct fucking parallel designed to deliberately give the reader that crawling feeling and it works so well i dont even feel right typing it up for a post
#which leads of course into direct parallels when orogenes reclaim it and start calling themselves it as a use name#which gives ESSUN the ick . despite using it herself in a derogatory/self-deprecating way#how they're not supposed to use it in the fulcrum because it's a slur. but this also gives them no framework for reclaiming it#an orogene who's grown up with that mindset will think it's crude or self-hating to start using the r-version in earnest#and this supposed mark of propriety and politeness thus becomes yet another way for the fulcrum to exert control#'don't use that word it's a dirty word.' 'we're the only organization on earth that will treat you like people. but we both know you're NOT#etc etc#which i think this level of bare-bones just-this-close-to-reality worldbuilding#might be part of what's prevented the series from getting as big as some other similar spec fic series#it's full of fantastic elements but the main conflict/problem with the world is a 1:1 problem we already have#i imagine a lot of readers feel uncomfortable about that#but also. as illustrated by this exact 1:1 problem. it's a very Black series by a Black author that is only ostensibly about people who can#move rocks with their minds#which is unfortunately the other reaosn i think it doesn't have the audience of say. baru#and i love baru! good books. having a lot of fun with them#but jemison's ability to write about the same things has this extra toothy edge that baru just ... won't. just by nature of experience#anyway there is so much in these books . god

ugh all I can think of lately is Fleetway!Sonourge. good job on spreading that to me
also thinking about the Freedom Fighters protecting Scourge from Zonic when he shows up. like, him trying to arrest all of them for hiding and protecting a criminal and all. how do you think the FFs would overcome him?
:3 it's spreading as planned
It would take a while for the zone cops to even come to the conclusion Scourge is hiding in the fleetway dimension, tbh. He's good at running from the cops, and knows lots of places to hide. It's difficult to track him down when he's not actively causing trouble, and the fleetway universe is quite a ways away from the dimensions he normally hangs around in. The zone cops are expecting him to show up in Moebius, or try to take over the Prime dimension again. They aren't going to be looking in the dimension with the evil Super Sonic that's thousands of miles away, because why would he be there? Even once they do investigate there, they're probably initially be inclined to take Sonic's word for it when he says Scourge isn't there. Zonic knows this Sonic hates lookalikes, after all. It would take a while for them to genuinely suspect the fleetway universe
Usually when Zonic shows up, the first thing they do is hide Scourge, which can range from hiding him elsewhere in the dimension (special zone included) or finding a way to get him out altogether, and he'll find somewhere else to hide until they leave again. The zone cops can't actually arrest him if he isn't there, and they can't prove the freedom fighters have been hiding him, since, well, he doesn't legally exist in the fleetway universe. The best they can do is ask around to see if anyone has seen him, but Sonic is always quick to point out that anyone could be a green hedgehog in a leather jacket. Metamorphia did turn into a green hedgehog, once. Without seeing Scourge with their own two eyes, the zone cops have no way to prove the green hedgehog in a leather jacket is Scourge and not someone else.
"Everyone around here is an idiot," Sonic will sneer if Zonic tries to point out that he showed a picture of Scourge to some civilians and they said they recognised him. "They'll mix any hedgehog up. Someone mistook Amy for me, once."
Technically, the circumstantial evidence is enough to bring Sonic and the other freedom fighters in, but there's always the risk of him turning into Super, if we pick the part of the timeline where they're one person. He's harmless if they get the collar around him, it's just getting the collar around him without being vaporised that's the tricky part. Even if they're separate people, well, if Sonic is gone, who will stop Super if he goes out of control?
If the zone cops decide to bring them in anyway, well. The freedom fighters are freedom fighters. They're going to fight, and they're going to fight dirty. Sonic alone is a pain in the ass (and, again, a huge risk if he and Super are one person) but everyone else will make it even worse. The cops could subdue them eventually, but... ultimately, I think they find it more trouble than it's worth to bring them in, especially when they have no surefire way to prove Scourge has anything to do with them. And if the freedom fighters were arrested, Scourge would work his ass off to bust them out. It could be a good way to trap him, but Scourge has escaped from prison once before, they don't want it to happen again
Ultimately, I think they decide to bide their time. There are other criminals to take care of, and they can't really spare the resources to go hunting for Scourge when he isn't even causing any trouble aside from "already being a wanted criminal", so they decide it's better to periodically check in to see if they can catch him unaware or wait until he causes a big enough problem to give them justification to go knocking on the door and arrest the lot of them. Unfortunately for them, the freedom fighters are protective, and will make sure that never happens
#sonic the hedgehog#scourge the hedgehog#fleetway sonic#stc sonic#fleet!sonourge#asks#headcanon#zonic the zone cop#i like to imagine the zone cops just kinda. try to ignore the fleetway universe usually#they don't want to risk super getting out#so coming to the conclusion the suspect they're looking for is hiding there makes it. difficult for them.#they CAN do it it's just a lot of work and sonic and co don't make it any easier#they're hostile right from the start before even knowing the cops are after scourge#bc the freedom fighters follow sonic's lead and sonic's lead is 'ew cops' and 'ew lookalikes'#of which zonic is both#so he already makes a terrible first impression right from the start#hearing he's looking for someone they consider one of their own would make it worse#ultimately i think they would refuse to cooperate as much as they can (and perhaps a bit more)#and without solid evidence of scourge's existence there it's more trouble than it's worth to push them too hard#every time zonic tries to keep a close eye on the fleetway universe to see if scourge pops up a new disaster occurs elsewhere#and he has to pay attention to that. and it's difficult to remember he has to keep hunting for scourge when he has other pressing issues#tldr they overcome zonic by just being too annoying and inconvenient to deal with#especially since scourge isn't actually causing any trouble#not because he's gotten better just because he's found an outlet for his bullshit (enabling sonic) but the cops don't know that
